Stand.earth is hiring a Communications Director to lead our communications department, and help us hold some of the world’s biggest corporate and government polluters to account. Over the past two years, Stand.earth’s campaigns to shift polluting industries, protect biodiversity hotspots, and transition communities off fossil fuels have grown in size and scope – and we’re looking for someone who can help us significantly scale up our reach and impact across both traditional and digital media.
If you’re just as comfortable developing a big vision for strategic communications and pitching stories, you love leading teams and mentoring other staff, and you’re passionate about large-scale transformative solutions to the climate crisis, then read on! This might be the perfect role for you.
We encourage applicants to apply by February 28, 2021 This position is open until filled.
About Stand.earth
Stand.earth is a nonprofit environmental organization working to create a world where respect for people and the environment comes first. Our campaigns challenge destructive corporate and governmental practices, demand accountability, and create solutions that support all of us — and the environment and climate upon which we depend. Stand’s strategic approach and fierce determination have yielded extraordinary results: Since 2000, we’ve secured the protection of 65 million acres of wilderness, shifted billions of dollars of corporate purchasing toward responsible options, and transformed the environmental practices of more than 100 major U.S. corporations. Stand.earth operates in the United States and Canada.
Stand recognizes and respects the sovereignty of First Nations and tribes, as well as the rights of Indigenous Peoples and frontline communities. These communities are often first and most directly impacted by environmental pollution and climate change, and they provide critical leadership in developing solutions.
Pollution, climate change, and corporations’ bad behavior disproportionately hurts the most marginalized people in society — including people of color, people from working class backgrounds, people with disabilities, women and LGBTQ+ people. To develop transformative solutions, these communities must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other historically marginalized communities. If you require assistance applying to this opportunity, please contact equalopportunity@stand.earth .

Center for Science in the Public Interest
1220 L Street NW, Washington DC 20005
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) works to improve the food environment for all Americans. CSPI has led efforts to win passage of many state and local policies to improve school food, remove sugary drinks from children’s menus, and require calorie labeling on chain restaurant menus. National policy successes include the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (to improve school food), the Food Safety Modernization Act, and the Food Allergen Consumer Protection Act.
Unhealthy food and beverages are the leading contributors to death in the United States, contributing to over 600,000 premature deaths each year, primarily through heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. The typical American diet is low in fruit, vegetables and whole grains and too high in sugar-sweetened beverages, red and processed meat, full-fat dairy, refined grains, sodium, and saturated fat. In particular, the ubiquity, amounts, and aggressive promotion of sugary drinks and unhealthy food in the food supply are hazardous to the public’s health.
The Communications Associate is a key member of a dynamic cross-department team creating and developing high impact communication and marketing campaigns to generate support for priority issues on traditional, digital, and paid media platforms. The Communications Associate supports issue teams to mobilize our advocates, coalition partners, and the public to support national, state and local policies and corporate campaigns to improve the U.S. food system.

Assist in developing impactful digital and print assets to promote campaigns and events, including graphics, infographics, photographs, videos, and audio products in coordination with Strategic Communications Associate.

General Description:
LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is an influential national network with unparalleled influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country. We are unmatched in our ability to ensure meaningful action on our key issues. We aim to bring people and communities together across racial, geographic, political, religious, economic and other differences toward collective goals instead of dividing us from one another
In 2014, LCV launched Chispa (“chispa” translates to “spark” in English), a program that relies on community organizing to build the voice and power of Latino families to influence the environmental policies and decisions that affect their lives. Through our programs in five states, our members have taken leadership in the fights to keep rooftop solar affordable and accessible and convert dirty diesel school buses to clean electric fleets, developed Latino and other people of color policymakers as champions on environmental issues, demonstrated to Spanish-language media that the environment is a priority issue for Latinx families, and built strong relationships with social justice and environmental groups alike.

The Chispa Communication Intern will:
Assist in writing blog posts that center racial justice and equity in the fight for environmental protections.
Draft press releases and emails, and other communication materials for outreach to media and Chispa members that are culturally competent and reflect the environmental justice priorities of the program.

Help craft social media posts as needed under supervision of the Chispa Digital Campaigns Manager.

Schedule and Compensation: 15-20 hours per week; $15.00 per hour
General Description:
LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is an influential national network with unparalleled influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country. We are unmatched in our ability to ensure meaningful action on our key issues. We aim to bring people and communities together across racial, geographic, political, religious, economic and other differences toward collective goals instead of dividing us from one another
In 2014, LCV launched Chispa (“chispa” translates to “spark” in English), a program that relies on community organizing to build the voice and power of Latino families to influence the environmental policies and decisions that affect their lives. Through our programs in five states, our members have taken leadership in the fights to keep rooftop solar affordable and accessible and convert dirty diesel school buses to clean electric fleets, developed Latino and other people of color policymakers as champions on environmental issues, demonstrated to Spanish-language media that the environment is a priority issue for Latinx families, and built strong relationships with social justice and environmental groups alike.
LCV is seeking a Chispa Communications Intern who will support the Chispa National Communications Director in implementing communications strategies for the multi-state Chispa program.

Vote Blue’s mission is to mobilize progressive voters to get to the polls in the 2020 election using door-to-door canvassing.
We are currently seeking Canvass Directors to join us on an important and exciting campaign to provide the strategic field operation necessary to win this fall. We are hiring for multiple Lead Director and Deputy Director positions.
There is so much at stake in this election. As we have seen over the last 4 years, leadership in government matters more than ever. Nearly 200,000 Americans have died of COVID19, and Donald Trump is on the record saying that he intentionally withheld information about it and downplayed its severity. Millions of acres are currently burning in wildfires in Washington, Oregon, and California in one of the largest natural disasters in history. We need our government proactively addressing climate change, not trying to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to new oil drilling. Systemic racism is real and clearly at the forefront of our collective daily lives. Yet as more Black people are shot or killed by police, Donald Trump and Republicans stoke racial tension for political gain. We need a change in leadership, and we need it fast. The election on November 3 will be the most important of our lifetimes. A strong ground game is the key to winning.
Canvass Directors will recruit, train, and manage a team of local canvassers to go door-to-door in strategic locations and speak with voters about their voting plans. Additionally, the Lead Campaign Director will manage a team of one or more Deputy Directors, and will be responsible for building an office to scale from the ground up. This position reports to the Project Director.
COVID-19 has altered the political landscape, but one thing remains the same - we will need to have in-person conversations with people to get out the vote. Thankfully, we can do this with low risk. We will provide PPE and substantial health and safety training, and we have developed a canvassing protocol that will allow us to do this critical work while keeping our staff and the people in our communities safe.
We are hiring immediately. This position runs through November 3, with opportunities to extend through the Election and beyond.
Locations: Michigan (Multiple Locations)
Canvass Management Responsibilities:
Work with a voter targeting list to build walk lists and train others to do so
Collaborate with our recruitment team to identify and hire members of the community to work as canvassers who will make contact with targeted voters to speak with them about the upcoming election
Manage a team of 20-30 canvassers, setting and driving goals along the way
Implement health and safety protocol, including ensuring adequate PPE for all staff and compliance with daily health and safety guidelines
Knock doors several days a week yourself to train staff and help drive office goals by having effective conversations with voters
Administrative duties, including working with the HR Director on payroll, onboarding and offboarding staff, and compliance
Qualifications:
Leadership experience, ability to motivate, grow, and manage a large team
Prior experience running a canvassing operation is preferred. We will consider candidates with comparable management experience.
Ability to work long hours, including evenings and weekends
Familiarity with VAN a plus
Extreme attention to detail and a proven ability to instill that quality in others
Self-starter with excellent problem-solving skills
Strong passion for community organizing and fostering civic engagement
Salary: The salary range for this position is $1,200-$1,400 per week. We offer a generous benefits package, including paid vacation and sick leave, health insurance, and hands-on training. At the end of the campaign, there may be opportunities for advancement and bonuses.
At Vote Blue, we prioritize equity and inclusion. We are an equal opportunity employer and we strongly encourage Black, indigenous, people of color, women, people with previous felony convictions, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and others who identify with underrepresented groups to apply.

JOIN for Justice
Boston preferred but not required
Position Opening: Communications & Outreach Officer
Classification: Full-Time, Exempt
Location: JOIN’s national office in Boston, MA (preferred)
Posted: August 2020
JOIN for Justice is building a powerful field of Jewish leaders capable of effectively organizing for justice, both inside and outside Jewish communities in the US. We organize because, in the words of Emma Lazarus, “Until we are all free, we are none of us free”—our destinies are bound up as one. We train and mentor rabbis, community leaders, and community organizers through a variety of intensive organizing training programs, in person and online.
In the coming year, for example, we’ll be running our 18-month Clergy Fellowship, wherein we will train and support teams of rabbis in Miami and St. Louis to engage their congregations in new ways and get involved in local multi-faith, multi-racial organizing. We will also be running a new 6-month long national organizing training program for disabled Jewish organizers in their 20s and 30s -- where participants will get intensive training and individualized coaching as they learn about disability organizing history, nuts and bolts of running campaigns and how to organize to fight ableism, racism, and other forms of exclusion.
We believe that our Jewish religious, historical, and cultural traditions compel us to organize our communities and take powerful action together in support of the pressing social justice issues of our time and that those unique traditions can be an indispensable resource in harnessing the power of faith for justice. Thousands of people we have trained over the past two decades are now tapping these traditions and skills as they work in cities across the country forging relationships, building power, and winning change for all of our communities.
Position Overview
JOIN is seeking a dynamic and talented Communications and Outreach Officer to play a critical role building up JOIN’s reach and reputation, increasing engagement with our content online and attracting excellent people for our training programs. This will mean producing powerful email blasts, compelling social media posts, well-designed materials and short video products, as well as managing relationship-based outreach and recruitment efforts for specific programs, including the Jewish Organizing Fellowship and our online course, Don’t Kvetch, Organize! Overall, a successful candidate will bring strong skills to both the technical and interpersonal aspects of this role, as well as an orientation towards building systems and cultivating diverse networks as JOIN develops a more robust pipeline of engagement with participants, alumni, supporters, and organizational partners across the board.
Key Responsibilities
Communications:
Work with senior leadership to craft effective communication strategies for JOIN;

Work with senior leadership to develop strategic approaches to JOIN’s outreach and recruitment work;
Coordinate recruitment for select programs, with special attention to reaching Jews of color, Jews with disabilities, working class Jews, and trans and non-binary Jews -- integrating approaches such as phone calls and direct emails, coordinating with partner organizations, social media and email promotion, and mobilizing members of the JOIN community to do outreach in their networks;
Coordinate rigorous and equitable interview and selection processes for JOIN programs, including responding to questions from potential program participants, providing logistical and technical support as well as conducting relational conversations to support them in discerning whether our programs may be the right fit for them;
Coordinate with individual contractors and partner organizations involved in the recruitment process;
Maintain excellent records of all outreach and communication with potential participants;
Support program execution (e.g. retreats, training sessions), as needed.
Skills and Qualifications
3-5 years experience in communications, digital and/or community organizing, project management, recruitment or related fields;
Experience developing and producing digital communications materials and publications; Experience with video editing and production; Graphic design experience, preferred;
Demonstrated commitment to racial equity and anti-oppression work, and ability to apply this orientation to the work, internally and externally;
Cultural competence in working with people with disabilities, and experience with accessibility and accommodations in communications and virtual or in-person events
Exemplary written and verbal communication skills;
Proven ability to manage complex projects with many moving parts, while tracking many pieces of information using complex spreadsheets/databases in a timely manner;
Well-versed in Google Suite (Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Drive etc.) and Wordpress, comfort with technology, and able to learn new systems;
Strong creative, strategic, interpersonal, and organizational skills;
Ability to work flexibly and collaboratively and have a solutions-oriented approach to challenges;
Basic cultural competence with Jewish communities;
Familiarity with, and preferably professional and/or volunteer experience in, community organizing.
Preferred: Existing networks in and familiarity with Jewish religious, secular and social justice landscapes; and/or racial justice, social movement, disability organizing and connected communities.
At JOIN for Justice, we believe social justice fights require the voices of those most directly impacted by injustice. JOIN is dedicated to building a culturally diverse and pluralistic staff team -- via internal training, structured reflection exercises and an ongoing investment in the leadership development of staff. JOIN strongly encourages people of color, indigenous people, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, and immigrants to apply. You do not need to be Jewish.

This is a full-time, Boston-based, exempt position, with occasional evening and weekend work. Note: All staff are currently working remotely amidst the pandemic.

JOIN OUR TEAM!!
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon Foundation (501c3) is seeking individuals to join our Board of Directors in 2020! Potential new Board members (“candidates”) will submit their application by the deadline indicated below and may progress through our process depending on skill-set and qualifications required for the functions of each Board. The application process potentially includes an interview with NARAL staff and Board members. Board members are eligible to serve two consecutive three-year terms. New Board Members will be offered a new Board member orientation. Board membership is voluntary, and serving on the Board of Directors is not paid work.
Since 2016, NPCO(F) has been taking concrete steps to improve Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the organization. We are committed to promoting the reproductive justice framework, ensuring racial equity in our organizational policies and practices and increasing diversity on our board and staff. Through our programming and advocacy, our C3, C4, and PAC organizations strive to build a world that promotes reproductive justice for all Oregonians. In regard to our board recruitment, we are particularly interested in inviting the leadership of people of color, men and transgender individuals, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, immigrants/refugees, and people with disabilities. It is vital to us that our Boards reflect the skills/abilities/knowledge needs of our organization, as well as the rich diversity of our community.
Who We Are
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon is the leading grassroots pro-choice advocacy organization in Oregon and is a state affiliate of NARAL Pro-Choice America . Knowing that Oregon needs a strong political force advocating for women and all people who can become pregnant, we have identified goals and strategies that we see as critical to our organizations’ – and our movement’s – success. Our 2018 strategic plan , developed over months of engagement by our Board of Directors and staff with input from over 75 members and key organizational allies, will guide us through the growth needed to effectively meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. We have two entities which help us achieve our goals, and each has a Board of Directors: NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon develops and sustains a constituency that uses the political process to guarantee every person who can become pregnant the right to make personal decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices, including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing legal abortion.
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon Foundation supports and protects, as a fundamental right and value, a person’s freedom to make individual decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices – including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing legal abortion – through education, training, organizing, and research. We champion public policy that addresses disparities in reproductive health care and promotes health equity for all people.
Ideal Candidates in 2020
Every board of directors seeks members who will uphold its organization’s mission and values, and will work to govern and direct the organization in a way that provides excellent stewardship and success of its goals. Given the distinct mission and efforts of NARAL Pro Choice Oregon and NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon Foundation, we believe our ideal Boards are comprised of individuals who provide a balance of the following skills and/or experiences:

Experience with NARAL coalition partners
Potential interest in serving on the NARAL PAC
Both Boards
Diversity in life experience
Racial/Ethnic
Age
Sex/Gender
Geographic
Economic
Professional skill sets in areas of organizational need:

Financial/accounting experience,
Legal expertise,
HR knowledge/training
DEI strategy and organizational transformation
Experience in and passion for fundraising, including grantmaking experience
Ability and willingness to fundraise
Experience in areas of NARAL strategic interest, such as School Boards
In 2020, given our current Board profile, we are specifically seeking individuals whose lived experience and skill sets will supplement and complement the existing Board composition. For these reasons, we are prioritizing candidates who can and will provide our Board(s) with:
Greater diversity as it pertains to race/ethnicity, age, sex/gender, geographic and socioeconomic experience
Experience in and passion for fundraising, including grantmaking expertise
Legal expertise
DEI strategy and transformation experience
All applications will be considered. Some candidates who are not accepted in this round of recruitment may be invited to join our Political Action Committee (PAC) Board or Development Committee, or may be considered in future cycles. It is vital to us that our Boards reflect the skills/abilities/knowledge needs of our organization, as well as the rich diversity of our community.
Responsibilities of the Board: The Boards’ purpose is to guide the organization’s development, strategic direction, and mission.

We have two entities which help us achieve our goals, and each has a Board of Directors: NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon develops and sustains a constituency that uses the political process to guarantee every person who can become pregnant the right to make personal decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices, including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing legal abortion.
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon Foundation supports and protects, as a fundamental right and value, a person’s freedom to make individual decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices – including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing legal abortion – through education, training, organizing, and research. We champion public policy that addresses disparities in reproductive health care and promotes health equity for all people.
Ideal Candidates in 2020
Every board of directors seeks members who will uphold its organization’s mission and values, and will work to govern and direct the organization in a way that provides excellent stewardship and success of its goals.
